I am Legend

I just saw it the other day. . . wooaahhhh, a great movie to start the year. Will Smith was good cos he was going nuts after surviving alone in NY after 3 years and hiding from vampires. There are really scary parts too. Anybody else seen it?

I'm just curious, If YOU were the last man on earth, how do you intend to survive?

i loved this movie a lot.

I would also go nuts but after i realized god is relying on me to start humanization up i would party with myself.

Go to the nearest Music store and jam..

I thought it was a great movie.

haven't seen it yet. i was planning on it until you mentioned vampires. that sounds kind of silly.

"Vampires" ....they are virally mutated humans who have "gone wild" and have severe allergic reactions to UV. They are a little hokey, but they're not the "undead"....

cool, that sound much more believable. now i'm looking forward to it again.

It's quite good. No spoiler here....the mutants are CGI and they stretch the boundries of reality but I guess taken in light of mutation and such what they're capable of is possible....

I have not seen the movie, but a buddy of mine told me that the book the movie was based on had vampires, but they turned them into mutants for the film. Dunno if it's true or not.

Good, but not great. I'm not asci fi fan though. Made me jump out of my seat a couple of times.

Wuss!

Dude, I will give you the purple splat.

its nothing to be ashamed of, I was shaking after he survived from that trip of his inside a building to find his dog. . . spoiler alert!

Yo! Write SPOILER ALERT first!!

The book "I Am Legend" by Richard Matheson was release in 1954 (?) and centeres around the last man being the sole human amongst populace turned into vampires by a mysterious plague.

First filmed version: "Last Man On Earth" starred Vincent Price and stayed very close to the books premise.

2nd filmed version: "The Omega Man" This time Charlton Heston is the hero and the vampires are just schlocky 70's albinos who sleep during the day and drink blood

3rd Filmed Version: "I Am Omega" a basical z-grade copy of "I Am Legend" but with fast zombies instead of mutants....

then the newest "I Am Legend" which takes many straying liberties from the novel....

You forgot The Simpsons Version: "The Homega Man" from the Halloween of Horror.

After the town of Springfield insults the French and they nuke the town, Homer, safe in a blast shelter, exits to find he's the last man on earth. While dancing nude in the church, Homer discovers that he is not alone. The town of Springfield is inhabited by brain-eating zombies. Homer finds that his family survived the blast, thanks to the layers of lead paint in their home. Together, the family blasts their way through town, killing zombies, and Edgar & Johhny Winter.

I really want to see that one movie, but with my shedule (since movies don't start until about 11a.m. and end around 11p.m. I never have the time), these days I usally wait til' movies come out on video (that sucks because movies like Dragon Wars was probably much more awesome in theater than it will be when I watch it on our 30" set).

How would I survive? Lots of prayer and meditation because I would need God's help as much as possible by then. And if there were mindless killing mutants I'd have to get my hands on some weapons. If not then, if there is still some electricity availiable, I'll watch as many DVDs and listen to as much CDs as possible. If not, then there are always books to read, after all I don't wear glasses (but if my eysight suffers then I am screwed).

No, that's when I get my Vikes jersey on and Superfly Snuka him. Except I'm a bit bigger than Snuka.

That's some full on contact.

INCOOOOOOOMING!!!
